Balterossa

Bartender's Daughter: "Athlum's been going through some tough times, and people are worried about the new matriarch of the Honeywell clan because she's so young. That's the latest news, Daddy."

Ghor

In the Warrior's Honor

Old Lady Who Knows Emmy: "I spotted Emmy in the town square looking troubled. Perhaps you can lend her an ear. She looked like she could use a friend."

Over in the Town Square

Emmy: "!? Oh, hi, Rush. ... I just received a letter, challenging the head of the Honeywell clan to a duel. Our family is known for being the greatest of warriors. People far and wide come to challenge the Honeywells. Warrior Yerva... There isn't a soldier alive who doesn't know that name. This is my first duel defending the Honeywell name. I cannot afford to lose. Rush, will you come with me to witness the duel?"

Rush: "Sounds boring."

Emmy: "Alright. I understand."

or:

Rush: "If you want me to."

Emmy: "Thanks, Rush. Let's head to Aveclyff. Watch over me, Mother."

Upon talking to her again, or have suspended the quest at some point

Emmy: "I just received a letter, challenging the head of the Honeywell clan to a duel. Rush, will you come with me to witness the duel?"

Rush: "Sounds boring."

Emmy: "Alright. I understand."

or:

Rush: "If you want me to."

Emmy: "Thanks, Rush. Let's head to Aveclyff. Watch over me, Mother."

And off to Aveclyff we go!

Warrior Yerva: "I've been waiting for you. Fellow soldier. Make your way to the farthest room. That is where I shall wait. The elevation devices now function properly. They will help save your strength for when we duel."

After making your way over to Yerva...

Warrior Yerva: "You've finally arrived, Emma Honeywell. Let's begin. Hm? You seem very young, child. Do you claim to be Emma Honeywell, the head of the Honeywell clan?"

Warrior Yerva: "Hrmph. I had my sights set on fighting a real solder, not some child..."

Emmy: "I understand your disappointment. However, you must see me fight before deeming me an unworthy opponent."

Warrior Yerva: "I like your spirit. Then let us begin!"

Upon winning the duel:

Warrior Yerva: "Grah...! Y-you are much stronger than you appear to be..."

Emmy: "I fought a fair battle. I have yet to live up to becoming more worthy of wielding this sword. I still have a long journey ahead."

Warrior Yerva: "Oh? Hahaha! You are young and yet so sensible. The future looks bright for you. You can find me in Virtus Parish in Athlum. My fellow mercenaries and I will be there if you need anything. "

Emmy: "Thank you, Warrior Yerva. It is an honor to be rewarded with such an opportunity."

Upon return to Athlum:

Emmy: "... Will I ever surpass Mother? Everyone I talk to sees my mother in me. I understand, because I carry a big part of her with me. But will the day ever come when people see me for me?"
